Guiltless Marbled Banana Cake

At my house, we have cake for breakfast. But before you question my nutritional sensibility, please note that by cake I don't mean chocolate-ganache-slathered-multi-layer-devils-food-cake, but rather - a homemade banana bread (see previous recipe here), or yogurt cake, or even poppy-seed cake. So it's a healthy nutirious breakfast that satisfies our never-satisfied sweet-tooth and it's a perfect tea-time snack.

Having said that, I am continuously on the quest of finding a healthy, low-fat, low-sugar alternative such that whatever I am having is healthy.

Enter the Marbled Banana Cake. Combining the delicious flavor of banana with smooth and creamy chocoloate - AND it was healthy.

Allow me to elaborate.

I found this recipe on the FoodNetwork website but I adjusted it to so that's more calorie-conscious.The original recipe (found here) uses very little oil and compensates the moistness by using buttermilk (or laban). The cake turned out to be so moist, so fluffy and light it was gone in 60 seconds. Okay, it was gone in 2 days.
